YU+ME: dream: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

Things just aren't going well for Fiona. She has a [[Missing Mom|dead mom]], a father who is always on business, a [[Wicked Stepmother]], no friends at the Catholic high school, and none of the nuns believe that she's being picked on by [[Alpha Bitch|Sarah and Cass]]. So she begins to not pay any attention to anything around her, instead living in her own head in vivid, lucid dreams.

* [[The Dragon]] - {{spoiler|No-Face.}}

* [[Drama Bomb]] - Many of these are in Part 1: Issues 1 - 8, but Part 1: Issue 9 definitely takes the cake on this. The ending of this issue is a total drama bomb, which was a [[Wham! Episode]] to all, but to some it was ridiculous, to some it was [[Fridge Brilliance]] after a few months, [[Your Mileage May Vary]] indeed.

** They continue in part 2 after a while. Lia's history, like {{spoiler|the fact that she's bisexual, as well as the evil deeds when she committed as "Mara" when Sadako locked up her conscience}}, being a prime example.

* [[Dream Land]] - {{spoiler|where Part 1 takes place. Fiona returns in Part 2 to look for Lia.}}

* [[Have a Gay Old Time]] - Fiona doesn't understand what Jake means when he says he's "gay" at first.

* [[Homoerotic Dream]] - Fiona has one in Part 1: Issue 3, causing her to fear that she might be gay, as well as worrying how Lia will feel about the dream. {{spoiler|Ellie not so much has them as she has [[Mind Rape|Sadako inflict them on her]].}}

* [[I Never Got Any Letters]]

* [[Jerkass]] - {{spoiler|Sebastian, the guy who played Jake.}}

* [[Jive Turkey]] - Oddly enough, Fiona's conscience, in the Part 1: Issue 1. By Issue 2, she still speaks in ebonics, but noticeably toned down.

* [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]] - {{spoiler|Lia when she lost her conscience, especially compared to Sadako's relatively benign reaction to losing her conscience. Granted, [[Love Makes You Evil|Sadako wasn't exactly a paragon to begin with]], but she never fell near as far as [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|The Terrible Mara]].}}

* [[Klingon Promotion]] - {{spoiler|A new king or queen of Nod must kill the old one. However, Nod seems to have a will of it's own, and if it doesn't want the killer to be the new ruler, then it simply won't let the old ruler die.}}

* [[Late Arrival Spoiler]] - One of the early top banners (it has since changed). Description: {{spoiler|Not only does it state that Fiona and Lia are in love with each other, it ''also'' implies that they both like girls, sort of ruining the whole [[Coming Out Story]] part for new readers.}}

* [[Lipstick Lesbian]] - both Fiona and Lia

* [[Meaningful Name]] - Fiona's mom, who is already dead at the start of the comic, was named Angel.

* [[Mind Screw]] - We can see the writing on the wall in the ending of Part 1: Issue 9, but from Part 2: Issue 1 onward, Yu+Me is ''absolutely insane''.

* [[Missing Mom]] - Fiona's mom {{spoiler|committed vehicular suicide}} with {{spoiler|Fiona in the car}}.

* [[The Mole]] - {{spoiler|Sadako}} and {{spoiler|Lucy, who was made sympathetic by having been coerced into it and by trying to act as a [[Double Agent]] in favor of the protagonists}}.

* [[No Bisexuals]] - Averted. {{spoiler|Don was confirmed as bisexual via a bonus strip in the back of the 2nd book and Lia was confirmed as bisexual in Part 2.}}

* [[Out-of-Clothes Experience]] - Fiona naked when {{spoiler|she first returns to the dream world}}. This could be a CMOF since she didn't realize until some guy pointed out much to her embarrassment. And that her conscience told her she didn't have to be naked.

{{quote|'''Fiona''': "Geez! I'm naked?! Stupid symbolic nudity!"}}

* [[Shaggy Dog Story]] - The end of part one arguably turns the comic into this, [[Your Mileage May Vary|for some]]

* [[Shout-Out]] - tons, see the webcomics page of this trope for a list

* [[Soft Glass]] - Completely averted. {{spoiler|Sadako}} died being tossed through a glass window.

* [[So Happy Together]] - Fiona goes to prom and is very happy because she gets to be with Lia when a [[Drama Bomb]] goes off...

* [[Teen Drama]] - given the list of 10 [[Drama Bomb|drama bombs]] above and that the story's main characters are teens or {{spoiler|at least ''play'' teens in dreams...oh 400 year old Lia}}...it's rather obvious that Part 1 is a total [[Teen Drama]]

* [[Thanatos Gambit]] - {{spoiler|Basically, the entire plot is Sadako trying to commit suicide.}}

* [[Tomato Surprise]] - {{spoiler|Part One is [[All Just a Dream]]}}

*** Actually, make that everything from 2-11 onwards. With the ending coming soon, there's bound to be more.

* [[Wicked Stepmother]] - Fiona has one {{spoiler|According to the [[Word of God|author]], she's [[Inverted Trope|actually not that bad; Fiona just perceives her as "wicked"]]}}.

* [[Yandere]] - {{spoiler|Sadako, to a T. She looks innocent enough, but man that girl has some issues.}}

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] - Jake has green hair, Sadako's hair is purple-ish, Fiona's hair is naturally two-toned, Don's hair is just... funky {{spoiler|because he's of a humanoid race who's hair changes every day, Lucy can change heads so it's inevitable for her, Clandestine/Himitsu ''was'' brunette but losing Sadako drove her insane and made it turn blue, and Fiona's disguises consisted of brown-green hair and pink-purple hair. This series likes this trope a lot.}}
